This should be a wake up for Media outlets to smarten up and start informing us or close up shop. I'm sure Paris Hilton is eager to have someone else follow her around with a camera.

With virtually no fanfare or media analysis, one of the most transformative agreements ever signed by Canada and the U.S. (and Mexico) is officially dead.
